Alexander du Lac was chained to the wall in the dungeon waiting his fate. He had just come back from his latest beating from the guards. He was worried about what the Queen was going to do to him. His clothes were in tatters on his sore and battered body. He had no regrets for what he had done because Dawn was lovely. His only regret was that he had been caught. Still he was wondering when the Queen was going to derive her punishment.

Queen Elizabeth was discussing this very same thing with Dawn. Dawn wanted him to be recognized as a man in a dress. At first Queen Elizabeth wanted to go along with this but had a brainstorm of an even better punishment. She quietly whispered her plan to Dawn. Dawn got a mischievous glint to her eye. She told the Queen that it would be the most fitting punishment to a man who was not in the least remorseful for his actions.

Queen Elizabeth, upon holding court the next day, called her warden in.

"Warden, bring me Alexander du Lac. I am going to announce to the full court his punishment." announced the Queen.

Alexander was lead into the throne room bound in chains. He showed signs of his most recent thrashings. Still there was a defiant, mean look in his eyes.

Queen Elizabeth, upon seeing that look, was even more thrilled about the punishment she derived.

"Alexander du Lac I have come up with the perfect punishment for you. It is going to last your lifetime. The first part of the punishment is that you will be awarded the rank of a Lady. You will become legally female. This means that any property that you currently hold will be turned over to your husband, who will be a male. You will then become his property and he may do whatever he likes to you. How you are to be dressed is up to his whims. But I do expect you to be dressed like a lady at all times. I have also picked out your husband for you. You will meet him in due time. The courtship will last a year, so that you will have time to get comfortable in your new role. I will also have a few ladies of the court to train you and feminize you. The wedding will take place in a year."

Upon hearing this all the fight went out of Alexander. He started to tremble. He did not want to live his life as a female. He vowed to fight this every step of the way. He was not going to go down easy. He also did not like the idea that he had to have sex with a man.

The Queen announced "From now on, Alexander du Lac's name will be Alexandra du Lac. In two days time, you will start your training as a lady. In a week you will meet the man that I have picked for you."

To be continued.

Queen Elizabeth summoned Christopher, Dawn's younger brother. The Queen wanted him to be the husband of the former Alexander du Lac. She knew that Christopher wanted the man responsible for raping his older sister punished.

Christopher was 6'1" and was muscular. He worked as a miller and had the muscles to prove it. He entered the Queen's private conference room and bowed before her royal majesty.

"You requested my presence your highness?"

"Yes, Christopher, I did. I need to ask a special favor of you."

The Queen continued, "I know how much you want Alexander du Lac to suffer. I have decided that he will spend the rest of his life as a lady under the control of her husband. I would love for you to be that husband. It will be in your power to do anything to her short of beating and/or killing her. She will be your wife in all aspects. If you agree
to do this I will set you up as a noble."

Christopher did not hesitate a second when he agreed to marry the newly christianed Alexandra.

Meanwhile the former Alexander du Lac was being led into his new private chambers where he was to undergo his new training as a lady. He was made to strip his clothes and get into the bathtub. The maidservants who escorted him there under the orders of the Queen, made him get into the tub, where they proceeded to scrub him with the floral scented water.
One of the maid servants took up a razor that was brought in and proceeded to shave off all of his body hair, making him smooth as a new born babe.

When he was finished being bathed, the maid servants started to dress Alexandra in her new feminine undergarments. They then, put on a very rich, ornate, jeweled gown befitting a lady of the court.

"Alexandra, the Queen wants you to practice wearing gowns and women's slippers. Also take it easy but, on the morrow you will start your training on how to be a lady and how to keep your man happy in all areas. Since you were once a man you should know what is expected of a lady."

Upon hearing this Alexandra, turned ashen in color. S/he knew what s/he wanted ladies to do to him once upon a time. S/he dreaded the idea of having another man's penis in his mouth. And swallowing.

"Is there anyway, I can talk to the Queen and get her to change her mind. I think I would rather be in prison."

He was told "You already agreed to this and now it is too late to change your mind. Now stop acting like a little girl and take your medicine."

"Also, starting tomorrow, we will begin lacing you up in a corset. That will enable you to have a nice girlish figure. Also, we will start rubbing your breasts with a special ointment that will enable you to have a bust of your own without padding."

Upon, Alexandra's waking the next morning, two maidservants entered carrying the latest in corsets.

"Please stand, ma'am and hold you hands out. We are going to lace you up."

They put the corset on Alexandra, and started to lacing it up. Alexandra started to feel it constricting on her and fought hard not to scream but she was not going to let her punishers know that the punishment was getting to her.

After making her waist go down to twenty inches, the proceeded to finish dressing Alexandra. She was dressed in a Sapphire Blue gown, with hand sewn lace insets around the neckline and sleeves.

Alexandra was told to eat her breakfast, but with the corset on, she could hardly eat.

Christopher meanwhile was preparing his plans on how to get revenge on the man that traumatized Dawn. Christopher remembered how reckless Eric used to be when he was a brother, but when he was tricked into becoming a woman and wife, she developed into a better person and did not deserve to be raped like she was. Christopher intended to make sure that man who did this would be humiliated often.

Part 3

Christopher decided to go to the shop and buy Alexandra the most feminine dresses he could find. He had peeked at how feminine they were starting to get Alexandra. The only thing that might give her away would be her height. Christopher thought that if he made Alexandra look very feminine people would not pay attention to her height. Queen Elizabeth also said that if he was questioned by people outside the city, who knew of Alexander's punishment, that Alexandra was descended from the legendary Amazons.

He was torn on how he was going to punish Alexander du Lac. He at first wanted to physically torture her, but his conscience bothered him. Christopher was a gentle man and hated the idea of hurting others so he decided to be a great man and treat her like a lady. But he also believed the husband should rule the nest so he planned keeping Alexandra submissive and in the role of a gentle lady. He was happy that his sister Dawn was settling into her courtship of Prince Christian. He loved how his wild older brother was settling down. Dawn also was a very beautiful lady.

Alexandra meanwhile was being laced tightly into her corset. She hated this torture. She did not like the tight feeling of it. She hated how it affected her appetite, forcing her to eat with a more ladylike appetite. Her gown of a deep Sapphire blue was placed over her head and guided into place. A little rouge was applied to her cheeks and a little red color was placed on her lips. Her long copper hair was brushed and braided into a French braid that ran down to just under her shoulders.

She was instructed to take her daily medication. If she knew what it was she would have refused it. You see, just like Dawn, she was taking a herbal potion that was slowing feminizing his body. She was being drilled daily on the second class position of being a woman. Alexandra, who was still very much Alexander in her/his mind still was fighting this daily.

She was led to the private rooms of Queen Elizabeth to begin her latest rounds of training.

“Alexandra, today we are going to cover how a lady has to defer to her husband. She has to be guided by what her husband decides is right for her. I am going to play the part of your husband. Okay let's begin.

Alexandra, I want you to work on patching my trousers”

“No, I refuse to do that. I am a man and I will not be humiliated like that. I find it degrading to be dressed and act like a woman. I want to go back to being a man.”

“Alexandra, that is not an option.”

“My name is Alexander and not Alexandra. I am a man, I have a penis.”

“Oh no, dear Alexandra, you gave up that right when you violated Dawn. No, you are now a woman by my royal decree. If you persist on this, I may decide to have you gelded, like a prize stallion. That would gentle you. It also would make the hormones you are taking work faster. It would make your breasts develop faster. Would you like this?”

“No my majesty.”

“Well then, I suggest you start becoming a sweet, biddable young lady.

Guards, take her back to her room and let her ponder what is best for her.”

Alexandra was led back to her private suite. She sat by the window, looking out on the vast royal garden.

I really don't want to be a woman, but if I have to accept I would love to keep myself intact. Maybe if I go along, they will let down their guard and I can escape and go back to being a man. I will court the man who will be my husband, get him hot and horny and ditch him. I wonder who they have got to be my husband.

She was hoping that it was not Dawn's brother Christopher but she really feared that was who was to be her husband to be. She was afraid of what he would do to her in retaliation of what Alexander did to Dawn. Oh why, did I ever do that to her. I should never have done that. Maybe I can convince the queen that I have changed and will treat women better. Maybe I can convince her to let me go back to my former self.

Queen Elizabeth, meanwhile was also trying to decide on how to gentle Alexandra, make her more feminine but yet not destroy her spirit.

I don't want to make her have no fire, no spirit. How can I go about training her but yet not break that spirit. I will have to try to drill the fine points of ladyhood into her, but try not to over punish her.

Part 4

Christopher was walking the streets of the city when he noticed a sign by the theater announcing the performance of a new play by William Shakespeare. It was a comedy, Christopher decided to go in to see it, thinking it might divert his mind from his current problem of what to do with Alexandra. Queen Elizabeth had told him that Alexandra was being very difficult. She did not want to learn how to be feminine.

Christopher entered the theater and found a sit just as the play begin. It started with the abduction of a drunk who was convinced that he was a noble who abandoned his family. It then proceeded to be about an Italian merchant who had two daughters. The younger one was sweet beautiful and much desired, but who could not be married until a man was found for her older sister who was a shrew. She was a high-spirited opinionated woman.

A man was found that was willing to court her. He courted her then wed her and acted around her as a boor, but in the end she learned to do what her husband wanted. Christopher thought that maybe this could be a solution to Alexandra's willfulness. It may tame her, but not lose her high-spiritness.

He decided to have a meeting with the queen and discuss this.

Meanwhile, at the palace, Alexandra was having an exciting day. She was gotten out of bed and was forced into her corset and dress for the day, after throwing a chamber pot at the hapless maid.

“I do not want to wear these clothes. I am a man not a woman and I want to be treated like one.”

This outburst brought in the guards who were able to subdue her while the maids quickly got her dressed in her gown. Alexandra was then led down to the throne room where she was brought before the queen.

“Alexandra, what am I going to do with you? You have to accept your punishment. You gave up all rights to being a male when you agreed to the plea bargain. Of course if you persist in this behavior, I will have no other choice but to send you to prison, where the males there will turn you into a girl anyway. You will be brutally raped and abused, night after night. Is this what you want? I will give you until tomorrow to decide and live with the consequences.”

Alexandra was led to her room where she had all day to decide what she wanted to do. But neither choice was really appealing. The first choice was to live out the rest of her days, as a woman. She would not be in prison, but she would have to do the will of her husband. She would have to take care of their adopted children, see to the house and take care of his needs. She would always have to act like a lady. She missed the days when she was able to be Alexander and go where he wanted and do what he pleased. If only he had not abducted Dawn and raped her. He realized that a terrible thing to do. He regretted it everyday.
The second choice was even worse, even though he would be a male. He would be locked up with murderers and other hardened criminals. He would be sodomized often by many males. He would have no choice. At least with the first option, he only had to worry about one man. The more he thought about his choices the more he felt that he would do better to go with the first option, but how he hated becoming a female. But if he had to be in a prison, per se, he wanted one where he could enjoy the outside.

Part 5

Alexandra was pondering over her current predicament and deciding whether she should just accept her punishment and let them make a woman out of her or still try to go back to Alexander. She did miss out on her freedom as a man.

On the other hand, there were somethings she liked about her new role. She was starting to like the softer new fabrics she had to wear, although she could do with the corsets. It was also fun, to let a man court her and bring her flowers. She was afraid to let the queen know that though. She was starting to find Christopher adorable though. She loved how he made her feel cherished and desirable. She would rather it not be because of what Alexander did to Dawn, Christopher's sister.

Alexandra, now that she was starting to realize how vulnerable a woman was regretted what she did to Dawn. She knew now that it is wrong to force others to do what they don't want to do. She wished she could undo what she did.

She realized that she had to become a woman so that she could realize the damage that she done to Dawn. She would have to try and apologize to Dawn and try to make it right.

She resolved to herself to make the best person she could become and give up being the spoiled brat of a man that she used to be.

Meanwhile Christopher was still deciding if he should really be himself and court Alexandra showing her what a fine guy he was, or should be act the brute like Alexander was with Dawn. Christopher really did not feel right about being mean and brutish with her. He felt that women should be respected and not treated as objects for his gratification. He wondered if behaving as a gentleman if Alexandra would realize how a man should behave and regret her actions as Alexander.

Christopher decided that he was going to court Alexandra, as a gentle woman and give her the respect that was due to her. He felt it was better to woo her and not force her into anything just as a punishment to an unforgivable crime. He thought that this would help her accept the position she was now in, become a better person than she had been.

The next day, he got up and went to the florist's to get her a bouquet of flowers, so that he could begin in earnest to court and woo her. He figured that it would be better to treat her with kindness than with an iron glove.

He sent a message to her once he reached the palace.

Alexandra was deciding on what gown to wear that day, when she got his message. She had her maidservants dress her in a midnight blue velvet gown and fix her hair.

She entered the court room and saw Christopher standing there with the bouquet in his hands.

Alexandra sent a message to Dawn requesting a meeting the following day.

Dawn was curious as to what it was about and decided to meet with her. She heard from her brother Christopher that Alexandra had really changed. Dawn was curious about seeing how much Alexandra had changed. Dawn felt that if Alexandra had indeed changed, that Dawn could forgive her and try to forget what Alexandra had done to Dawn. Dawn felt that life is too short to hold onto wrongs done to you. Dawn replied that she would meet with Alexandra.

Dawn entered Alexandra's sitting room, and waited for Alexandra to enter. Alexandra swept into the room wearing a lavender and rose gown. Her hair was elaborately done. Dawn was astounded at the beautiful sight. She could not believe that this dainty beauty was the same brash man that raped her just a few short months ago.

“Dawn, I am so glad that you decided to come to meet me today. I have so much that I want to say to you. As you can see, I have decided to embrace my femininity. Your brother, Christopher has helped to convince me that it is better.

I have been feeling really guilty for all the harm I have done to you especially raping you. I realize now that was a truly horrendous thing to do to another person. I know now all the harm that act has done to you. I regret that I only thought of my needs and did not consider your wants and desires. I hope that you can start to forgive me for harming you that way.

Becoming a woman has helped me to see how vulnerable you are to the advances of men. I regret that I was a terrible man. I hope to become a great woman and bring your brother a lot of happiness.”

“Alexandra, I do accept your apology. I am still dealing with the issues from Alexander's raping me and I will forgive you what was done. If there is anyway that I can help you to become the woman that you want to be just ask. I know only to well the hardships and difficulties ahead having gone through a similar situation myself.

I also know how the love of a good man will help through it too. Christopher is a great man who has helped me and protected me now that I am another sister to him. I am sure that you will do your best to love and cherish him.”

They both gave a hug to each other and now Dawn could start to really heal from the rape. She felt like such a weight was lifted. She really meant it when she offered to help Alexandra to become more ladylike. She knew only to well what it was like to go from male to female and to lose a lot of the privileges that men take for granted.

This is going to be a summary of where I intended it to. I may add to it later.

Christopher continued to court Alexandra daily. He took her on romantic strolls through the Royal Rose Gardens, strolling under the romantic moonlight. Alexandra fell in love with him and he with her.

After a few months, he proposed matrimony to her and she accepted. A beautiful white satin gown was designed for her with a lot of pearls and 2 carat diamonds in her ears.

Queen Elizabeth tried to mellow out a little, but she was too set in her ways. She did learn not to punish men this way as she realized it was demeaning to them. She learned to punish them in keeping with their genders.

As for Alexandra and Christopher, they lived for the most part happily ever after.
